Those things are dangerous in the wrong hands. I was swimming in a 
humanity packed sea at Seapoint last summer, and just turning to return 
when something made me look up. I saw one of those yokes about 50 feet 
above me with its camera, and having held one in a shop, I know just how 
heavy and injurious they could be if they fell out of the sky. When I 
got back I discovered the 13 year old operator with proud Dad beside 
him. Let's just say pride comes before a fall.
